Domain renewals are another line item in a long list of things to remember. Especially if you have purchased domains for longer terms—think three- and five-year licenses—it is all too easy to forget to renew them in time. 

There are a multitude of ways that registrars and domain owners try to stay on top of renewals: manually through calendar reminders, periodic manual checks, or reliance solely on registrar notifications. However, as straightforward as they may seem, one skipped notification and the whole system collapses like a house of cards. 

The result? Your site goes offline.  Email services are disrupted. And finally, there is a loss of revenue and credibility.

An automated solution to a common problem

To intelligently combat these challenges, WP Remote has introduced Domain Monitoring, automating the entire process of checking domain status. It is a pivotal addition to our Advanced Monitoring suite which already includes Uptime and Visual Monitoring.

Automated domain health checks

WP Remote will automatically check domain status every week. If you need to know the status immediately, perhaps while checking something else about your site, you don’t even need to leave the WP Remote dashboard. Refresh the status manually.

Proactive alerts and detailed insights

WP Remote will send you timely email alerts when your domain is nearing expiration or has already expired. 

The dashboard also provides exhaustive details about your domain, including the exact date it needs renewal (Expiry), the current status of the domain ranging from ‘Active’ to ‘Expired’ (Domain Status), and which services are managing your domain and routing your traffic (Registrar and Name Server Info).

Strategic domain management

Visual indicators on the dashboard categorize the health of your domain with states like ‘HEALTHY’, ‘CRITICAL’, or ‘EXPIRED’, providing a clear and immediate understanding of the attention your domain requires. Furthermore, every monitoring action is logged with a timestamp, creating a historical record that offers a transparent review of your domain’s status over time.

Ease of use 

Fully integrated into WP Remote as part of the Advanced Monitoring toolkit, Domain Monitoring works seamlessly with your existing setup. It’s been rolled out to all users at no additional cost, underscoring WP Remote’s commitment to empowering users with superior tools without the hefty price tag.

Domain monitoring is yet another aspect of site maintenance made simple and seamless, existing in the same dashboard as your other critical site maintenance tasks. Automating simple but critical site maintenance tasks is key to freeing up your bandwidth to focus on important tasks only you can do.
